Friday night football spotlight: South Eugene at Beaverton

South Eugene Axemen (0-9) at Beaverton Beavers (5-4), 7:30 p.m.: A total of 16 Class 6A teams earned automatic berths into the 32-team playoff bracket, leaving 20 teams to square off in 10 play-in games to fill the final 10 spots in the playoff field.

The play-in match-ups are determined by the OSAA power rankings with the highest ranked team playing host to the lowest ranked team, the next highest ranked team hosting the next lowest ranked team, and so on.

In the case of South Eugene-Beaverton, the No. 42 Axemen are making a two-hour bus trip to face the No. 19 Beavers in what, at least on paper, shapes up as the biggest mismatch on a night of many mismatches.
